Vans
Born in 1998, the Knu Skool put a bold twist on Vans’ iconic Old Skool. With oversized laces, a puffed tongue, and a plush collar, it brought '90s skate vibes to life while staying grounded in Vans' signature vulcanized, waffle sole lower build. Its exaggerated upper design made it a standout in skate culture. After its initial release, the Knu Skool was reissued in the early 2000s and again in 2023, each time blending its nostalgic style with modern comfort to appeal to new generations of sneaker enthusiasts.
